About this listen

A deliciously dark and twisted contemporary romance inspired by Beauty and the Beast.

He claimed her to settle a debt... but now he'll never let her go.

Crushed beneath the weight of her father's gambling debts, Arabella Grey longs for a life free from fear and the constant dread of the next knock on the door. But when her father's reckless choices land him in this masked man's debt, Arabella faces an impossible decision: let her father die, or offer herself in his place instead.

Sebastian Devereaux is known notoriously as the Beast. A legend within the underground fight scene turned ruthless drug lord, his empire is built on blood, brutality, and fear. So when whispers of a tampered product threaten everything he's built, Sebastian will stop at nothing to find the traitor.

He just never expected to find her instead.

Now, with betrayal closing in and his past catching up, Sebastian must decide what matters more, keeping control of his empire… or risking everything for the one woman who could bring it all crashing down.

Tropes include: masked MMC; size difference; forced proximity; obsession; mafia; fairytale reimagining.

Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.
